parts 3 of the amazing celebrate release on 12 inch... part 3 starts with a bang and -in der weltraumdiskothek- by mysterious dresden based producer dc production. if youve ever wondered what music would be played at the night club of the ewoks this tune might be the answer. -nuthin wrong here- is scherbe to the bone with his stumbling beats, dirty synths and heartbreaking samples. we also have a big heart for disco here at the valley and this is proven by sandrow m & k_chico who put a smile on our face with catchy guitar licks, bouncy bass lines and cheesy vocals. -space dancer-, what more could you desire? finally, filburt from leipzig brings things down to a peaceful end with his slightly melancholic -my time-.

torrebros (numoment recordings / komplex de deep) is a french duo delivering in melted faces a subtle collage of samples and original floating textures. melted faces original mix reminds, by its driving beats and low-slung bass, the early nineties detroit moisture. borrowed identity (mistress recordings / quintessentials), a german-romanian producer, which last productions has been released on dvs1s new imprint mistress, gives here his layback and savoureuse interpretation by rearranging the original sample groove. dj steef (retrofit / gomma / numoment recordings), the mysterious french producer, finalized the ep with 2 more deep and downtempo remixes with a catchy and seductive rolling bass perfectly seated on a powerfull drum loop pattern.

concealed sounds return with a new 12 for 2014. this time around we have invited our friends from mysteries sylphe label to remix the title track by martinez, and they delivered a monster! on the a side we find >consolidation (sylphe lydlos dub)<, were we are taken a true journey thru sound and rhythms for about 13 minutes. the remix kicks off in a kind of tracky way, with a strong focus on the irresistible groove laid down by holdie gawn & micawber. after the first small breaks and manipulations to the groove, we are introduced to some very trippy modular sound design. these sounds takes the lead of the remix and forms into small melodies in a very organic way. while you can still sense the ingredient from the original track, sylphe takes a slightly different directions and offers a good opposite to the original with their own special twist. the original version of >consolidations< is presented on the b side of this 12. its a dirty groove ridden track that goes on for well over 10 minutes, developing from a broken groove into a more danceable techno pieces, with its shattering metallic sounds, bubbly baselines, deep layers of sub rhythms and lush pad chords to give it some more atmosphere. two very different version of modern instalment in techno music. we hope you enjoy it as much as we do… and as always there is a special hidden track on this 12.

maricopa returns to back to the balearics to complete his stunning opus, pastel love. and he continues where he left off building deeply textured songs packed full of simple melodies that really shine. his music opts for subtle feelings and passing vibes over the more obvious structures of dance music. the release of part one led to a number of comparisons with the early work of aphex twin as well as more contemporary producers such as four tet. such comparisons dont come lightly, but pastel love demonstrates that a rare musical talent has arrived. the release again has beautiful printed covers and looks as good as it sounds. viva maricopa!

an imaginary country continues from the trajectory of tim heckers last album, the critically acclaimed harmony in ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound pallete including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. at times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he is know for. this music backs off from the void of immensity in favor of a terrain of lushness and warmth.

the manchester-based label, music is love, has made some serious headway in their debut year with a flurry of impressive releases from a pool of highly talented up-and-coming artists. moving into 2014 and the mil crew continue to unearth fresh talent with the creation a new sister label, a label devised on bringing together a broad range of musical aspects and inspired by a desire to nurture a sound with more sonic craft. for their inaugural first release they welcome colman buckley for his first full ep. with 4 tracks of uniquely differing styles, the ep is branded by percussive rhythms and slick grooves, with acid-fused textures and deep house melodies piecing together a strong collection of tracks.

bushwick venue bossa nova civic club is one of brooklyns more recent additions, yet has become a focal point for some of nycs key figures with events featuring representatives from l.i.e.s. and the bunker complementing guests like jacques renault and anthony naples. emboldened by this prospering creative vibe, bossa nova civic club have teamed up with sisterjam, a local consultation, management and event promotion collective for a series of 12 inch eps under the banner bushwick is melting. this first volume features four tracks from brooklyn-based producers, each reflecting a different side to the areas musical underground. l.i.e.s. artist marcos cabral contributes, as does his runaway partner jacques renault who teams up with nyc techno veteran mark verbos, whilst there is also music from mannequin records act dusk, and aurora halal, the person behind the mutual dreaming parties who makes her solo production debut with *hazy g*.

gravitas, talib kwelis sixth solo album, began to take shape in may, during the weeks following the release of kwelis fifth solo album, prisoner of conscious. loaded with guests, prisoner of conscious was well received and reviewed, and gained talib many new fans to add to his already large following. however, kweli soon found himself wanting to record more personal material and really document his journey thru music. when singer ryan leslie, who created the platform that kweli is using to sell gravitas, approached him with the idea of selling direct to fan, songs that were just rough ideas began to fully form in kwelis head.

after a period of absence, killax recordings comes back stronger on a vinyl only release (first one for the italian label) whit the participation of noego and marco zampini aka kid mark. funk, jazz, and foxy samples is what you feel in motherfunk to follow the raw notes of lift, less melodic track that becomes very rough and coarse, carachterized by a more mechanic an futuristic sound.

no more just tracking down tracks! that has been the law at the monaberry camp for a while now. it rings true with full force, as the monkeys release their seminal and elegantly powerful watching the stars ep

with this second ep, the access affirms his love for a deep-house tinged soul and funk, but adds a few more sophisticated ingredients, with four tracks with singular universe for each night time.

when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.

tartelets latest comes from glenn astro. currently residing in essen, he has spent a bit more than half his life djing and producing, first in the realm of hip-hop and more recently with an ear toward dance music. after his first releases in this style in 2011 and 2012, glenn really went for it in 2013 with a trio of eps that showed hip-hops soul and house musics drive are in no way mutually exclusive. this 26-year-old may embrace the latter these days, but when you close your eyes and let his gritty low-end do its dirty work, you will hear plenty of the formers bump still kicking around in there.

subdivision of construct re-form, the purpose of ars mechanica is to explore a more mysterious side of the electronic music, an oniric and spatial travel, an endless dive into the sound. for this second opus, we are pleased to invite the dutchman mike storm, a very promising artist who explores sci fi techno sonorities. he offers 4 powerful tracks to us : interstellar journey

nofitstate chalk up their 3rd release with the much talked about swedish duo mr. tophat and art alfie providing ‘vretis’, an elongated groove fit to bursting with tension thanks to its extended filtered intro. ‘locked groove’ provides the remix on the flip, opting for a more blissfully melodic approach for those early morning sessions whilst ’takelant’ rounds things off in fine style with a low down and dirty slice of machine-phunk.

repress 2014
high quality rough n ready warehouse techno from two established producers (who have produced on planet e among others) coming together under the mysterious dense & pika alias. >vomee< launches the label, all guns blazing with a grimey bass led groove. flip sides >bad back< continues the low slung vibe but injects more of a fucked up lo-fi feel with a crunched up kick and metalic shards of sound. first in a series…

berliners dirk leyers and nomad expressed their hard earned musical freedom in a dogma: the use of a roland tr-808 analog drum machine in every single track. they programmed the machine to lay poly-rhythms over multicultural drum and percussion tracks, fascinated -and sometimes puzzled- by its own characteristically sudden swing and accent changes, and named it: africaine 808 - their third and first female band member. in the first year of their musical joint venture, the three spent quite some time in remixing and editing some of their favourite african and island funk tunes, transforming the old gold into modern dj and dancefloor friendly tunes. the sound of organic grooves mixed with 808-beats and analogue synthesizer basslines became soon a trademark sound, and more and more samples got replaced by live played guitar, bass, organ and percussion. the trio experimented with different tempos and styles ranging from slow cumbia and exotic rumba themes to island-funk and percussive disco, electro and house. in spring 2012 they first took the project to another level, turning their tracks into a full live act at one of the vulkandance nights in berlin. today the project is growing and integrating guest musicians, drummers, percussionists and vocalists - for live performances as well as for recording in the studio. 100% sonic voodoo golf channel every time!

after a debut ep and a deep second one this time carlo zanelli has released a six tracks ep based upon a recording session done a couple of years before. every track have his unique character and the entire ep is intended more as a journey rather than a collection of different tracks making this a complete work ranging from ambient tracks to more danceable ones.

heavily inspired by early rave and detroit electro, paul blackford’s first release on breakin’ records was described as a pioneering uk take on the detroit techno bass sound. since then, he’s released tracks on labels such as wide, deadlock records and twilight 76. in 2009 he set up militant science as an output for his own and other artists material, with support from djs such as dave clarke, dj stingray, dj godfather, edmx, keith tenniswood, and many more. blackfords latest release on cpu turns up the bass and tempo, think kraftwerk vs detroit in effect.

we have been a fan of motor city drum ensemble since the brooding and eerie >escape to nowhere< in 2007 - a track that sounded like someone had listened to > french kiss< on acid and then tried to recreate what they heard. so when we started re-issuing romanthonys classics with fresh remixes, mcdes danilo plessow was always someone we wanted to on the project. it has taken 2 years to organise this mix and now it is finally here it doesnt disappoint. taking on > trust<, most people would head straight for the vocal but plessow instead eschews that idea for a warm, low slung dub mix reminiscent of muzique tropique and early glasgow underground releases by studio blue. as a more dj-friendly alternative he also delivered a completely instrumental dub mix.

vinyl only - played already by moodymann !!!!!!!!
once again showing their appreciation for forward-thinking music and supporting think-outside-the-box sounds, the latest ep on hold youth opens up the boundaries of electronic music and offers something more. the opening track sample n 909 has been injected with pure funk and sets the scene for the rest of the release, which maintains that groove throughout. well selected vocals can be found in the soulful harmonising of those voices or the smooth-speaking that makes rainbow slices the most mellow of the package. ending the b side with no more pretty, a joint stripped down to essential kick and high hats, you can feel the full strength of the funk once again as the jazzy keys enter… s3a is a breakthrough dj/producer from paris and resident of the illustrious concrete parties.

robert hood rmx!on the a-side rodhad delivers an epic 10 minute interpretation of the first single perplexed, while robert hood delivers a second, more minimalistic take on dirtro ii for the flip. early support from ben klock, josh wink, blawan, marcel fengler, shifted, adam beyer, oscar mulero & more

tennessee techno: alex falk brings the sound in purified form. his approach has already piqued the interest of many influential djs and producers, and the track *ptr* from his debut ep on proper trax is among the selections included on hessle audio co-founder pangaeas fabriclive 73 mix. falks previous releases have focused on punishing, pulsing, synthetic techno. for his cgi ep, we are treated to another side of falks sound as he allows a bit more house into the mix. limited to 400 copies.

when the aquaplano records were first released in 2008 and 2009, emerging out of hardwax with little fanfare, they were distinctly out of step with the way techno appeared to be heading. the minimal detour was reaching its logical endpoint, and producers were returning to the 1990s for inspiration, with berghain and sandwell district at the vanguard of a new techno movement. what the aquaplano sessions shared in common were slower bpms and finding inspiration in the 1990s, but there they parted ways. the influences these italians were drawing on were rather different, returning to tribal rhythms and ambient textures to sketch out a much more heady, psychedelic form of techno.

a new ep from work them records head spencer parker. dedicated to those people on the dance floor that embrace the moment, not the memory. early support from : truncate, dustin zahn, dvs1, 2562, dan curtin , kirk degiorgio and many more

fifth single from the duo altarboy. side a:the marathon thing is slow and esoteric track with a long break in which the roman producers rise and fall of bpm. the song takes you on a world reminiscent of memory lanes horror movies. the b-side blackmail is a techno bomb with references to the early 90s. wonder wet could not be more clear than that. the sound of this label is solid as marble.

a new line (related) is the latest venture from lancashire-based andrew johnson (hood/remote viewer/moteer). utilising tools from the early days of home produced underground dance music (such as sk5 sampler keyboards and vintage drum machines) andrew has unearthed a beautiful album of downbeat, lamp-lit techno, industrial grade ambience and sonic experimentation which at times recalls early warp records, gescom and raw, 313 area beatdown house, as well as the more modern breed of electronic and techno travellers such as actress, mark fell (late period) and even theo parrish (the slow sound of your life).
the double vinyl lp includes a downloadcode for the full album.

roots for bloom bring in four new faces for the seventh release. we see label boss jamie trench deliver an edit and remix of daniel curpen - daddy was a thug, and david moran teams up with albert vogt for their track cut loose and then collabs with mark crumbs for tha bassment. the a side sees jamie bring a rolling dub edit to daniels original and then takes things a little darker for the a2 remix. david morans cut loose shows off the vocal talents of albert vogt which grooves along seductively, then tha bassment as expected brings things a little harder and more for those after hour spots.

double vinyl plus download code.
